Wow it's late!

I just finished up a nice long night of coding. I’m working on a new version of my web server management tool. When it’s done, users will be able to handle a lot of the awful administrative tasks from one simple interface. Some features include
- Connect to any web server on your network
- Create web publishing account with NT permissions, protected folders for data files, and subfolders with scripts enabled
- Create shares while creating web publishing accounts
- Set directory access and security, set default documents, and modify other important IIS settings
- Show a share and permissions
- Show all shares and associated permissions with XML export
- Create a master publishers list of usernames
- Start and stop any web service on your network
- Tear down any web account, including archiving of files, share deletion, etc
- Site migration and Site Rebuilding – Capture the site’s permissions and file structure and recreate it
And no fooling, I’ve got about 80% of this done right now. The last two are going to be tough. But it’s way too late right now and I have another long day ahead of me.
I don't have comments enabled on this site, but I'd love to talk with you about this article on BlueSky, Mastodon, Twitter, or LinkedIn. Follow me there and say hi.
